Ravello Planters Combine Old World Charm with Self-Watering Convenience

The earthy, muted colors of these lightweight polypropylene planters mimic the aged patinas of copper and iron. Antique pots from an Italian villa inspired their embossed designs, but they're actually thoroughly modern in function and material. Extra large soil capacity and a built-in, 1-gallon water reservoir ensure your plants stay moist without daily attention.

I now own 3 of these large self-watering planters. In Oklahoma's hot summers, I wouldn't have any outside pots still alive after vacation if it weren't for the self-watering pots from Gardener's Supply. Plants can live at least a week on the water "in the well".

Have been using the self-watering hanging baskets and wanted containers for the patio. Both these products are spot on for ease of use and effective plant stress protection. Even when the temperatures rise to the high 90s, plants remain pert with no drooping. Our summer temperatures fluctuate and when there are consecutive days in the 90s - low 100s, to play it safe I fill the hanging basket reservoirs once in the morning and again late afternoon or early evening. Although the capacity of the 16" pots is such that they could easily sustain moisture for more than one day, I top them off since I am watering the baskets anyway. Most IMPORTANT for proper water absorption is to use their self-watering container mix or use a good quality potting soil with 10%-20% peat moss thoroughly mixed in. These products are absolutely a terrific value and a gardener's best friend.

I installed the self-watering unit, filled in the soil and planted a varigated euonymus on a trellis in the 16" Ravello planter. This pot has an elegant design, beautiful in the moss green, and is easy to move around, even when filled.

In addition to having to make holes for drainage it needs holes for the water in the reservoir to get to the soil. There's no wick or premade holes or directions about it.Otherwise a great item. We have 8 and very pleased with them. A bit on the expensive side.

I've had the coordinating larger planters for the past 5 years and have loved them. They are on my patio and I use them to grow herbs each summer. They stay outside all winter and are subjected to Wisconsin's harsh weather, yet they still look beautiful. I had purchased a couple of ceramic vases last summer, but they cracked over the winter and had to be replaced with more durable pots. I highly recommend these pots - they look great and are super durable!

I bought this for my sister-in-law for Christmas. Their climate is mild, so it should be OK. I'm in a frozen zone from Nov-April, so I couldn't have anything except annuals in it. But it's pretty, and best of all, self-watering for those dry summer weeks.

Hard to figure out how the Auto Watering system was suppose to be set up. Did not make sense. Ended up disgarding the "Guts" the 1 gal watering parts and just used the pot and water the plant my self weekly or when needed. There was insufficent room to keep it in the bottom of the pot and make the plant fit.

All my hanging pots are the self watering kind. I travel allot, and am gone for weeks. I have a gardener, who waters while I'm gone, but no gardener is as faithful about plant care as you are, so these self watering pots help to reduce the effects of less then faithful watering. I like them so much I've got ten of them.
